I got my boot fitted yesterday at the hospital, to look after my severed Achilles tendon. The surgeon said that I can try walking on it in about two weeks time. So I'm getting ready...

Haha, I like it! How did you sever your tendon? I pictured that awful scene from pet cemetery when I read that.:o
 
Well, ruptured really, rather than severed I suppose. I was running up a slope and it just snapped in two with a loud pop. Doc said it's probably a result of all my 'healthy activities' like playing squash and running up mountains!

Funny thing was, The slope that I was running up was in the hospital car park! The hospital had called us in urgently as my father had been taken in and was going into emergency surgery. So I spent three hours hopping around while they sorted him out (he's OK now) then checked myself in. They operated on the tendon the following morning and stitched it back together. I've just had the cast replaced with this articulated (when they let me adjust it) boot.
 
Here's to quick healing! But if you gotta be in a boot, that is a sweet arse rig! NICE!!!
 
Dood! I want one of those to wear around just for an excuse to latch all of that gear on there. Beats carrying a man-purse! You may be on to something there- get Maxpedition on the horn!
 
Here's to a quick recovery:thumbup:
You're gonna miss that rig once you're cured:D
 
I tried to persuade them to let me have two boots - I could have walked around like a terminator or something (nobody say mall-ninja!)
 
That is far too cool ! ! ! ! :cool:

I'm with Moon. . . I want a fake one with a flask and cigar attachment!!!:thumbup:

Hope you heal up quickly!!!

Jerry:D

Get Well!
Will you have anything else replaced with INFI---you know, for romance?? :D
 
Sweet place to carry what appears to be a black/tan SFNO ,,,,,,,,, :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: and sorry it came to that,,,,,quick recovery !!!!!
 
Sorry to hear about the surgery, but that rig is just funny as hell! :thumbup::cool:

You ought to post that over in WS&S.
 
Great rig!!:thumbup:

I see you've reached that awkward age where everything appears to be just fine ... until it suddenly isn't.:eek:

Pain in the a$$, isn't it?:)
 
Now THAT'S the spirit! I love a man who can turn adversity into a reason to pack more gear! Glad to hear you are on the mend, and I love the rig!
